Highly Recommend Him for All Your Real Estate Needs! Very Knowledgeable!

Michael was great in helping us understand how to deal with our rental property and answering all our questions about establishing a trust for the property and dealing with potential liability issues. Michael is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with a relaxed and thorough approach. We highly rec...ommend him!

Thoughtful and great attention to detail

Michael did a great job helping us with our home purchase. He was on top of things from the very beginning, and he clearly explained every step along the way. He thought ahead to have us close at the Registry of Deeds office so that our purchase could be recorded immediately before the weekend. Wh...en there was a discrepancy in the boundary description on our deed, he caught it and had it fixed immediately. We had a great experience.

Friendly, helpful, and informative!

I recently bought a home with my husband, and we used Mike as our attorney. He understands that the process is overwhelming to first time home buyers and walked us through every step of the way. It was great to have Mike's experience to prepare us for anything that could have come up, and to have him... answer every little question we threw his way. Not only did he help with all the details of closing, but said he is here for us if we need any future recommendations in the business as he knows the area. Mike is a great choice and we would definitely use him again if needed!

3rd time using Michael

Michael is incredibly thorough and just a pleasure to work with. He's also very knowledgable of town zoning laws and was able to clear some hurdles with our latest purchase related to the deed of the house. We've used him 3 times in the past 5 years and can't imagine ever using anyone else. HIGH...LY recommend Michael!

Review Michael Robbins for Florida condo purchase

Enlisted Michael Robbins provide oversight & guidance on purchase of Florida condo. Started 1/4/2019 completed 2/15/2019. Always answered phone or called me back when I asked questions. Was hoping for quicker closing but that's the system.

Thank you for the feedback and review. With respect to a faster closing the issue was that the Seller was out of the Country and did not have what we needed in time to close soon. Enjoy your home, Michael
